P.O.W. NETWORK NOTE:
The men and women listed below have all been administratively declared dead at Presumptive Finding of Death [PFOD] hearings, as have ALL
Vietnam POW/MIAs. These hearings occurred from one year after date of loss through September, 1994, at which time the "last" Vietnam P.O.W.,
Charles E. Shelton, was declared dead. All status designations of POW or MIA were then changed to PFOD or KIA/BNR. Military personnel listed
here canbe found among the casualties on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Moreinformation on each of these individuals can be found among theBIOGRAPHY pages.

This listing contains the names of 324 STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR U.S.
personnel from the Vietnam Conflict. Approximately 300 of these
personnel were last known alive in captivity in Vietnam and Laos, last
known alive, out of their aircraft before it crashed, or their names
were passed to POWs who later returned. A handful of the cases involves
incidents where the aircraft was later found on the ground with no signs
of the crew. This listing is based on all-source U.S. intelligence and
casualty reports, information provided by POWs who were returned,
lists of POWs and/or last known alive personnel prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency, and other information made available to the
Vice-Chairman, Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. (The difference
between 300 and 324 accounts for known incidents where one or more
unidentified crew members were captured from a crew of more than one, or
the aircraft was found with no trace of the crew.)

Based on the high number of MIAs at the end of the war who are still
unaccounted for (currently 1,170 persons for whom the USG does not know
their fate), it is probable that a significant percentage of the MIAs
NOT on this 324 list actually survived their incident and could have
been captured. Apparently, only the Vietnamese and Laotians would know
their fate, as the U.S. Government does not. GIVEN THIS REALITY, THE LIST
OF 324 NAMES WHICH FOLLOWS IS AT BEST CONSERVATIVE.....
